THIS!!!!! ^^^^

Again, this indicates that either she was fully on board with participating in a costume party, or that she was unwilling to be 'the odd one out', showing either a willingness to let loose, or a nervousness about adhering to social norms. Given her behaviour I'm more inclined towards the second option? She reads as a touch nervous when she enters, at least to me. Also of note is that she was at the party at all. The fact that Raqio didn't attend at all and Kukrushka seemingly dipped quite early says that attendance wasn't mandatory or anything, which means she chose to come, and even to remain after SQ's trick. Again, she proves surprisingly willing to socialize. And finally, the fish tank scenes. In both shots she's leaning against the glass, and in the second one, she taps the glass and the nearby fish swim away. If you subscribe to the theory that the fish are representative of the D.Q.O's various passengers, there's a LOT of symbolism here (she's watching the others wistfully through a window, and when she reaches out, they swim away) but even if you don't... it's still a really lonely scene tbh? She has this kind of sad expression, and she's standing on her own watching fish rather than talking to any of the other people on the ship. Honestly this scene more than any of the others I mentioned made me realize how isolated she feels? In conclusion, I think Yuriko is a deeply lonely, unsure person, who uses a mask of superiority to hide her insecurities and longing for a more intimate connection with her peers. (I have wayyyy more examples of things that I think match up with this btw. I could yap for ages about the subtleties of Yuriko's characterization)
